Abstract

TUMOR of the gallbladder is rarely diagnosed preoperatively, 1 since clinical presentation and roentgenographic findings are generally indistinguishable from those of cholecystitis. Indeed, even at the time of surgery, the diagnosis is often missed because of surrounding inflammation. 2 The roentgenographic demonstration of a calcified wall or an irregular mural lesion on an oral cholecystogram should raise clinical suspicion of a tumor. 3 As illustrated by the case reports, ultrasound has also proved useful in preoperative identification of patients with gallbladder neoplasm. Report of Cases Case 1.— A 70-year-old jaundiced woman with vomiting and a 4.5-kg weight loss was found to have a palpable mass in the right upper quadrant and gastric outlet obstruction on plain abdominal roentgenograms. Ultrasound demonstrated a complex mass in the gallbladder fossa, without defining the lumen. Bile duct dilation was also noted (Fig 1). An adenocarcinoma obliterating the gallbladder and causing biliary obstruction was discovered

Abstract

Dr. Taylor is Head of the Student Counselling Service at the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, and a part-time psychotherapist to an institution for delinquent girls. He is a former university lecturer in psychology, prison psychologist, and probation officer who has authored many papers on various aspects of clinical and criminal psychology. In the research paper presented here, Dr. Taylor gives the results of a brief criminal attitude scale. It consists of a number of items that criminals were heard to express, and it was administered to various administratively classified groups of convicted offenders. The scale was also given to noncriminal groups in which reasonable precautions were taken to ensure that they were in fact noncriminal in behaviour as well as in law.

Abstract

Investigations have been performed on the effects of ultrasound on biological structures including lever, peripheral nerve, spinal cord, and Ehrlich cell suspensions. These studies have shown the existence of two mechanical noncavitational ways by which ultrasound can cause both functional and structural changes in biological materials. Three forms of dosage are employed in diagnostic ultrasonography: the sonar dose form, the Doppler, and the sonar‐Doppler modes. In the authors' experiments, the range of frequencies used (12–6 MHz) includes the range predominantly used in all three diagnostic dose forms. The range of peak intensities (10–50 W⋅cm−2) is similar to those used in the sonar and sonar‐Doppler modes, while the pulsing regime used lies somewhat between the sonar and the Doppler forms. The results of these investigations indicate short‐term accumulation of mechanical strains even when two subliminal doses are separated in time. By extrapolation, an approximate estimate may be given of total safe e...

Abstract

The heat capacity and thermal conductivityof the monoclinic and the fully ordered orthorhombic phases of 2-adamantanone(C10H14O) have been measured for temperaturesbetween 2 and 150 K. The heat capacities for both phases are shownto be strikingly close regardless of the site disorder present inthe monoclinic crystal which arises from the occupancy of three nonequivalentsites for the oxygen atom. The heat capacity curves are also wellaccounted for by an evaluation carried out within the harmonic approximationin terms of the g(ω) vibrational frequencydistributions measured by means of inelastic neutron scattering. Suchspectral functions show however a significant excess of low frequencymodes for the crystal showing statistical disorder. In contrast, largedifferences are found for the thermal conductivity which contraryto what could be expected, shows the substitutionally disordered crystalto exhibit better heat transport properties than the fully orderedorthorhombic phase. Such an anomalous behavior is understood fromexamination of the crystalline structure of the orthorhombic phasewhich leads to very strong scattering of heat-carrying phonons dueto grain boundary effects able to yield a largely reduced value ofthe conductivity as well as to a plateau-like feature at intermediatetemperatures which contrasts with a bell-shaped maximum shown by datapertaining the disordered crystal. The relevance of the present findingswithin the context of glassy dynamics of the orientational glass stateis finally discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Objective: To test a novel methodology to define age-based dosing regimens for the treatment of malaria with a new, user-friendly, blister-packaged fixed-dose combination of artesunate and amodiaquine., Methods: A weight-for-age reference database of 88 054 individuals from sub-Saharan Africa was compiled using data from Demographic Health Surveys, observational and intervention studies, and standardized for sex, age and malaria risk. We then determined the optimal tablet strength (milligram (mg) per tablet) and age-dose categories for the combination of artesunate and amodiaquine. The proportions of patients predicted to receive doses within newly defined therapeutic ranges for amodiaquine (7-15 mg/kg/day) and artesunate (2-10 mg/kg/day), were estimated for different age categories and mg tablet strengths using models based on the weight-for-age reference database., Findings: The optimal paediatric (p) and adult (a) strength tablets contained 25/67.5 and 100/270 mg artesunate/amodiaquine, respectively. A regimen with five age categories: 0-1 months (1/2 p), 2-11 months (1 p), 1-5 years (2 p), 6-13 years (1 a), and > 14 years (2 a) had an overall dosing accuracy of 83.4% and 99.9% for amodiaquine and artesunate, respectively., Conclusion: The proposed method to use weight-for-age reference data from countries where malaria is endemic is a useful tool for designing age-based dosing regimens for antimalarial drugs for drug registration and field use.
